ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï-Webb Concert Choir Presents Spring Tour, ‘pro Deo et Humanitate’

Two members of the concert choir sing in a performance last year in Dover Chapel.

Performances Planned Locally and in Gastonia, Raleigh and Winston-Salem, N.C.

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—The ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï-Webb University Concert Choir presents its Spring Tour, “pro Deo et Humanitate (For God and Humanity),â€� on March 10 at 8 p.m. in Dover Chapel. The event is free and open to the public. Additionally, the 19-member choir will present a preview concert on Sunday, March 6, at 6:30 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Shelby, N.C.

Conductor Joshua Cheney is assistant professor of music, director of Choral Activities and coordinator of Worship Leadership at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï-Webb. He describes how the music in each section relates to the theme of the program: “The repertoire deals with the experiences of disenfranchised peoples, the impact of the Gospel on oppressors and apathetic hearts, and concludes with an apologetic for Christian action in the world.â€�

The selections in each section include:

  • Voices of the Disenfranchised
    • Listen to the Lambs, R. Nathaniel Dett.
    • Can I See Another’s Woe?, Jane Marshall.
    • Yo sé, Crystal Birdsong.
    • Molytva za Ukrayinu, Mykola Lysenko.
  • Paul on the Damascus Road
    • The Conversion of Saul, Z. Randall Stroope.
    • A New Heart, Melissa Dunphy.
    • Ain’t Got Time to Die, Hall Johnson.
  • An Apologetic for Christian Action
    • As it is in Heaven, Dale Trumbore.
    • pro Deo et Humanitate, Bruce Moser.
    • Precious Lord, Take My Hand, arr. Roy Ringwald.
  • Benediction
    • Benedicimus Deum caeli, James MacMillan.

The choir will perform all or portions of the program during its Spring Tour on the following dates:

  • March 11, 7:30 p.m., feature performance at First United Methodist Church of Gastonia, N.C.
  • March 13, 11 a.m., service leadership at First Baptist Church of Raleigh, N.C.
  • March 15, 6:30 p.m., joint performance with Glenn and R.J Reynolds high schools at First Baptist Church of Winston-Salem, N.C.
